In procite, each new record was automatically assigned an increasing number (of hundreds) which them helped me file my (physical) files in the order of these numbers and be able to find the paper that I wanted on the spot.
This sounds rather fragile... How are you using the number? Are you using BibDesk's file-linking capabilities? That and autofile allows you to use descriptive names, and search all your files from within BibDesk.
Is there a way to program Bibdesk to do the same by default?
No. BibDesk can display an "Item Number" column in the main table, which represents the actual order of items in the file (and BibDesk preserves that order). If that isn't sufficient, you'll need to use AppleScript as Andreas suggested.
Apologies if this is something extremely basic and easy, but I'm afraid my technical knowledge is quite limited and I am not always able to follow your suggestions (in fact if I could, that would be my main suggestion and request: that you could also put together a complete idiot's guide to bibdesk!
If you find specific deficiencies in the documentation, you can file a bug report. It's fairly extensive, but it's very difficult to cater to all users.
For example, I still cannot find how one can print their entire database file into a document...)
Did you try to select all in the main table and hit cmd-p? You could also select all while showing the TeX preview and print that (click in the preview panel and hit cmd-p). Depends on what you want.
